Mentoring for Aspiring Leaders
Supporting teachers to step into leadership with confidence and clarity.
Service Description
Moving into middle or senior leadership is a significant professional shift. Teachers are often promoted because they are strong in the classroom, yet receive little structured support in developing the leadership skills, strategic thinking, and confidence required for their next role. This mentoring offer supports teachers who are preparing for, or newly in, middle and senior leadership positions. It provides focused, professional guidance to help you move from classroom practitioner to effective leader, without losing sight of inclusive practice or sustainable working. Mentoring is practical, strategic, and grounded in real school leadership experience. The focus is on helping you understand the expectations of leadership, develop your professional voice, and lead with confidence in complex school environments.

Mentoring does not involve direct work with pupils but upholds the same ethical and professional standards expected within education. Professional Boundaries Mentoring is advisory and developmental — it supports reflection, but final professional decisions rest with the mentee. I provide honest, research-informed feedback, balancing encouragement with constructive challenge. Communication is respectful, professional, and aligned with coaching best practice.
